Look at all the tire marks that are there tho, especially the ones that lead into hitting shit, he got a TON of practice and that was taken in like 1000 different takes for each scene.

Its still cool tho, but everyone keeps blowing their load over it when half of us could do that with the practice and money he has.

I still disagree. This guy is a trendsetter. Do you know how much ALL of us can do with the money/practice we have? Based on my trip to India, everyone in America should be a rocket surgeon based on the opportunity we have. This guy is talented and could out drive anyone here - regardless of the practice or car he has.

How about I grab my camera while you practice and I'll film you doing donuts around a guy moving a segway? Or film you drift by a guy holding a green goobly goo in his hand, just nicking it.

**Jay::01-S4** · 06-02-2009, 04:59 PM

Gonna have to agree with Adeelius on this one. I consider myself a pretty good driver and I'm pretty sure I couldn't replicate that, or his other video's, if I had his resources and a year of practice!

Yes, that kind of skill does come with a LOT of practice but also you have to have a tremendous amount of natural ability.

I Honestly Believe that you could give ALMOST anyone 3 cars, a week, and a Pro film crew, and they could do that. His fist video was like 4 min. A week of driving and he got 4 min. out of it? i'm not saying that the video doesn't look cool, or that i wouldn't like to do it. and i'm not saying it doesn't take skill. But ANYONE could drift around ANYTHING with enough practice. Ken block is just a rich guy messing around with his cars, which is awesome. I just don't think that it's That Impressive. If he could have done that all in one run that's a completely different story.

Just my $.02

I will be my entire bank account that you could never replicate that with 3 cars and a week.

Think of taking a test in college. I spent 5 mins studying for tests and passed my classes while there were people who spent weeks practicing and got lower grades. Same rules apply here.

I just showed the video to my mom and she couldn't do any of that. There goes your presumption that almost anyone can do that.

My brother could not do it either, nor myself...Or you.

You are crazy that guy can flat out drive. I agree with Jay and Adeel on this one. Do you think you could match a good drivers lap time at any track with 3 days practice?

You could give me 2 years a pro film clue, steriods, superpowers, and robotic junk and i still couldnt do that

ZoHeB318 · 06-02-2009, 09:03 PM

Give me a day and I could do it

mbrouder · 06-02-2009, 09:38 PM

I find all this drifting to be gay. Sure it takes talent, but so does figure skating. Maybe I'm just old, but I bet I could make better use of those tires.
